Urgent Prayer Request - Child Molested

This child was molested by his father. It is very difficult for
any child to deal with this. It is especially difficult, because of our
culture, for a boy to deal with it when it is his father.

The child is severely suicidal. He needs strong, loving
prayers, lots of them, to overcome his own feelings of what happened to him. And
he’ll probably need long term guidance and counseling.

There’s not a lot I can say on this that will not make me
very angry. But I will not wish vengeance on that father but trust that God our
Father will take care of that.

I am praying, however, for all connected with this to be
able to erase their own feelings that they might have been able to avoid it, or
see it sooner, or all the other thoughts that plague a person in this
situation. Sometimes it is simply not easy to see in time. So the mother and
all connected with the family will need help moving forward with the child and
not blaming themselves.

At this moment, I will focus on praying for healing for this
boy, big time, and fast enough to keep him safe. And then for long-term healing
so that it will not affect how he sees himself as he grows up.

Sweet Lord Jesus, you who dearly loved the little children,
you said we should not harm these little ones (Matthew 18:6 and Luke 17-2).
Please look upon this boy with all your love and compassion. Please heal him
and keep him safe and help him to grow healthy in his own heart and mind and
soul. Please guide the family so they, too, can help in all the best ways. We
trust completely in you.
